Week of September 5^th-September 9th

Monday, September 5^th is Labor Day.  There will be no school!  Enjoy the holiday with your family. 

Reminder:  Our school day starts a little earlier this year!  The tardy bell rings at 7:55.  If your child is not in class when the bell rings, they will be counted tardy.

The last day to turn in a Big Form is Friday, September 9^th.  The Big Form is where you can order directories and yearbooks, join PTA, reserve a spot on the Birthday Marquee, and sign up to volunteer.  Visit https://cwsclients.wufoo.com/forms/the-pta-big-form/  to get your Big Form completed.

Friday is also the last day to order Spirit Wear.  Click https://cwsclients.wufoo.com/forms/spirit-wear-fall-201617/ to order yours today! 

We encourage every family to list their information in the RCE directory.  Simply visit this link  https://www.myschoolanywhere.com/new-family.a5w?fam=RummelCreekElementary44268 and use the join code RCEFAM to include your family in the directory.  The deadline for directory information is also Friday, September 9^th. 

Please remember your child needs a snack, a water bottle, a towel for resting and their blue folder every day. 

Several parents have expressed an interest in coming to help with kindergarten lunch.  This is not to replace the teacher on duty or to have lunch with your child, but to provide extra hands to help open yogurt tubes, drink boxes, containers, etc.  We would love to have 1-2 parents per day come to help us.  To choose a spot, visit the sign up genius:  http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0c48a5ab28a6fd0-kindergarten
